<P CLASS=para>
This class encapsulates the instance variables that tell a
<tt CLASS=literal>GridBagLayout</tt> how to position a given
<tt CLASS=literal>Component</tt> within its <tt CLASS=literal>Container</tt>.  

<P>
<DL CLASS=variablelist>
<DT CLASS=varlistentry><tt CLASS=literal>gridx</tt>, <tt CLASS=literal>gridy</tt><br>
<DD>

<P CLASS=para>
These fields specify the grid position of the component.
The <tt CLASS=literal>RELATIVE</tt> constant specifies a position to the
right or below the previous component.

<p>
<DT CLASS=varlistentry><tt CLASS=literal>gridwidth</tt>, <tt CLASS=literal>gridheight</tt><br>
<DD>

<P CLASS=para>
These fields specify the height and width of the component
in grid cells.  The constant <tt CLASS=literal>REMAINDER</tt> specifies
that the component is the last one and should get all
remaining cells.

<p>
<DT CLASS=varlistentry><tt CLASS=literal>fill</tt><br>
<DD>

<P CLASS=para>
This field specifies which dimensions of a component should
grow when the space available for it is larger than its
default size.  Legal values are the constants <tt CLASS=literal>NONE</tt>,
<tt CLASS=literal>BOTH</tt>, <tt CLASS=literal>HORIZONTAL</tt>, and <tt CLASS=literal>VERTICAL</tt>.

<p>
<DT CLASS=varlistentry><tt CLASS=literal>ipadx</tt>, <tt CLASS=literal>ipady</tt><br>
<DD>

<P CLASS=para>
These fields specify internal padding to add on each side
of the component in each dimension.  They increase the size
of the component beyond its default minimum size.

<p>
<DT CLASS=varlistentry><tt CLASS=literal>insets</tt><br>
<DD>

<P CLASS=para>
This <tt CLASS=literal>Insets</tt> object specifies margins to appear on
all sides of the component.

<p>
<DT CLASS=varlistentry><tt CLASS=literal>anchor</tt><br>
<DD>

<P CLASS=para>
This field specifies how the component should be displayed
within its grid cells when it is smaller than those cells.
The <tt CLASS=literal>CENTER</tt> constant and the compass-point constants
are legal values.

<p>
<DT CLASS=varlistentry><tt CLASS=literal>weightx</tt>, <tt CLASS=literal>weighty</tt><br>
<DD>

<P CLASS=para>
These fields specify how extra space in the container should
be distributed among its components in the X and Y
dimensions.  Larger weights specify that a component should
receive a proportionally larger amount of extra space.  A
zero weight specifies that the component should not receive
any extra space.  These weights specify the resizing
behavior of the component and its container.</DL>
